SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 22, 2008—
Philips Lumileds and Future Lighting Solutions have introduced the first
comprehensive suite of online Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools
designed to speed the prototyping and development of solid-state
lighting solutions for general lighting applications such as task lamps,
recessed downlights, outdoor lighting and shop lighting.

Freely available through both companies’ web
sites, the suite includes tools that provide analysis and data on LED
selection, reliability, lifetime, thermal management, and detailed
models for optical, electrical and mechanical design. These tools guide
developers through the critical elements of SSL system design on a
step-by-step basis.

The suite’s Usable Light Tool and LED
Reliability Tool enable designers to quickly and simply choose the most
appropriate LED for their application, comparing expected performance of
comparable LEDs in a variety of environments. Engineers can run
unlimited “what if”
analyses for light output, efficacy, junction temperature, drive
current, thermal characteristics and lifetime before committing
development and financial resources for prototyping.

The electrical, optical and mechanical models for LUXEON Rebel and
LUXEON K2 are available in the most common file formats. For electrical
development, SPICE analysis is easily conducted with National
Semiconductor’s Webench®
or Linear Technology’s LTspice. The library
models also work with Cadence OrCad®,
Altium™ Designer and CadSoft™
Eagle for easy schematic entry and board layout. Models for mechanical
layout are provided in standard 2D and 3D CAD file formats. Optical
source models and high, medium and low resolution Ray Sets allow for
detailed optical analysis and modeling.

Philips Lumileds is the world's leading provider of power LEDs for
everyday lighting applications. The company's recent records for light
output, efficacy and thermal management are direct results of the
ongoing commitment to advancing solid-state lighting technology and
enabling lighting solutions that are more environmentally friendly, help
reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the need for
power plant expansion. Philips Lumileds' LUXEON LEDs are enabling never
before possible applications in the general lighting, automotive,
digital imaging, display, and signage markets. More information about
the company's LUXEON®
LED products and solid-state lighting technologies can be found at
